 Why Choose Captain Carli's Orca Whale Watching Tours

Experience: Captain Carli has lived on San Juan Island for the last twenty-seven years and first  started driving Orca or Killer whale watching boats professionally in 1995.
Small Boat: Small boats are more personal, offer better seating and viewing and direct access to Captain Carli, (have a question…just ask him).
Convenience: Walk off the Washington State ferry in Friday Harbor and two minutes later you are onboard "Soulmate", Captain Carli's boat.
Spotting Network: Captain Carli belongs to an Orca whale spotting network located on Vancouver Island. If the whales are in the area he will know about them.
Captain Carli: Ocean sailor, world traveler, author (three published novels),musician (may play you a lick on the blues harp), lover of Orca whales, also known as Killer Whales, and wildlife…and…most important Captain Carli loves what he does.

See what our customers have to say about us -

This small boat experience is far better than those large boat excursions. Conveniently located at the Friday Harbor dock, this is a must-do if you are in the area. Captain Carli is knowledgeable and tries to give his customers the best possible experience. The orcas are incredible!  S.M.  Louisiana

Our family booked Captain Carli's Whale Watch tours because we wanted a smaller more personal experience. We have three boys 16, 13, and 10, and Captain Carli made them feel very comfortable and welcome. Captain Carli went out of his way for our family to see the Orcas up close.... Our family had a wonderful relaxing time with Captain Carli, and we were not disapointed.  Zena, Montana

Captain Carli was excellent. He was very friendly and worked hard to find a pod of Orcas for us (it was uncertain if we were going to see any that day). As soon as we came to a stopping point 2 ORCAS BREACHED off of the stern of the Soulmate (Captain Carli's boat). He then kept us at about 100 yds from the orcas for over 2 hours! He even let us have extra time to watch the orcas (extending the trip a little). We HIGHLY recommend Captain Carli's Whale Watch to everyone that visits Friday Harbor! - AJ and "Counterweight", Tampa, Florida
